My Experience at Chez Morgan's was really good. The tasks were mainly building related and included laying a laminate floor in one of his bedrooms. The real treat with this Worldpacker experience is exploring Le Vigan and meeting Morgan's friends, of which there are many. The town dates back centuries with lots of narrow streets incorporating three story houses . The local market is excellent and you can stroll around and practice your French language skills with the vendors. It's a proper French experience, croissants in the morning and red wine with Dejeuner. I highly recommend this stay.

First experience as work exchange and it was great. Le Vigan is such a great town to wind down. There's a lot of nature all around and a beautiful river with waterfalls nearby. Morgan is an excellent host and the work is very reasonable. There's accommodation was also very comfortable. I would definitely return.

Morgan is a great host and Le Vigan is a great place! The tasks were satisfactory. We couldn't get the materials to work on renovations, so we helped with food preparation and other simple tasks like cleaning. He's a great host with whom we shared many moments of conversation, outings, and interesting stories. We saw his creative process with his beautiful sculptures. We escaped the extreme European heat thanks to the beautiful river that runs through the village. Lots of culture, music, and friendly people to share it with. A great experience for bohemians; it's not an Airbnb.

My experience with Morgan was absolutely amazing! From the very first moment, he made us feel right at home. He is a wonderful person, kind, generous, and attentive. He wasn't just an excellent host, but he also became a great friend, we shared an afternoon at the river, concerts, and he introduced us to some of his friends, making us feel like part of his daily life. I helped him with tidying up and cleaning the house. The tasks assigned were very fair and matched the details on the Worldpackers platform. I completely recommend this experience!
